Before The Fall

For his fledgling feature, Spanish filmmaker Javier Gutiérrez has no qualms about pumping up the adrenaline in an audacious melding of two venerable thriller storylines. It’s the end of the world: an asteroid will strike in 72 hours and there’s no possible escape. Amid the panic, a vengeful child murderer has escaped – and he is headed for a remote house where the nieces and nephews of Ale (Victor Clavijo) await, unaware of the impending doom. As Ale stands guard, it’s a terrifying and emotionally charged countdown to the final curtain.
